I just hope they will release the new DLCs on Switch. This version feels really left behind, also due to constant framerate issues when the city is big enough...
Still my favorite game franchise ever, the only one for me to consider myself an annoying fanboy of. The only game that comes a bit close to F-Zero in terms of driving style is Super Pilot, but beyond that and the track editor, there's nothing more. The characters, the ships, the crazy style, the amount of content... No game today is close. Just bring back the series already, Ninty. You know that "we don't know how to improve the game" makes no sense today, after 15 years since the last entry in the series.
Very glad the Switch eShop is performing so well. Seeing sale ratios at 8:1 or even 20:1 really gives a great example on how things are going for the console.
Such a shame, I really hoped on this. Devs said they wanted to improve the game based on the feedback received, but looks like it's not the case. In all honesty I had that feeling since the first trailers came out, and apparently that feeling was right. It looks 100% more of the same without any improvement.
Thanks for the review, this saved me some money indeed.
@greywing Hi! Thanks a lot for replying, I really appreciate that. The co-op is a whole new campaign with new levels, right? Also it's good to know that it has been actually reworked instead of just ported, like it often happens with this kind of games.
My point with the price is that at this time there are many really good games in the eShop that are priced equal and may offer some more in terms of gameplay, variety and duration, even after being subject to an adaptation to the Switch uniqueness. I believe Conduct This is a very good game, fun and really polished, but due to its nature and its "age" seems out of place with that price tag.
I also think pricing a game is an hard task because the work behind is real and must be paid back, and users don't really know about it. In any case, I wish you best of luck.
Everspace is probably my favorite space game at the moment, this one really eats Manticore for breakfast. I always wished it could arrive on Switch and here it is. Will get it for sure!
@Gs69 I created one for my Switch, it went pretty easily. As far as I remember it's a very standard procedure from the Nintendo website, without any particular requirement or whatever. If I'm not wrong, it all went down to choosing Japan as the nationality. Though I can't recall if I registered from a generic Nintendo website or the Japanese one...
Actually loved the 3DS version. I have a huge bias towards OutRun in general, so I can't be anything but happy to know it's coming to Switch. Still I believe it's time for a porting of Coast-2-Coast... Or maybe a sequel, come on...
The first one was halfway decent but lacked in creativity on races and tracks. I hope the sequel is better, but I guess the upcoming Xenon Racer will openly beat this up.
There is a part in thie end game that cannot quite be recreated on console, for some technical reasons and platform guidelines... I’m super curious to know how they ported it.
I had arguments with fellow game developers calling this game JUNK no matter what, they just eat their heart out for its popularity, and admittedly refuse to understand how it works because they just hate it.
Once you start to think rationally, Fortnite is just a very good game and fun to play if you are into this kind of action. I decided to give it a try for the first time and got to say I like it quite much. Playing in team with my little brother has been best part of it.

Re: Grab A Friend For Some Hectic Co-op Train Management In Conduct Together! On Switch
Me and my girl had fun playing the original mobile version. It would be very cool to play co-op but 20$ sounds a bit too much for an old F2P game...

Re: Pokémon's President Confirms 2019 RPG Will Include Many New Pokémon And Better Graphics
Hoping they will ditch the grid-based world once and for all. They started this right in Sun and Moon.
